For An Antique Lyre Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCA DEED FGGF HFFH| Still wanting you perchance | A |
| How vainly love had waited | B |
| An autumn faun belated | C |
| For whom the leaves like spectral dryads dance | A |
| - | |
| And time perhaps had run | D |
| A somber songless river | E |
| Whence no nymph rises ever | E |
| With limbs that flash to lotus in the sun | D |
| - | |
| And happiness had been | F |
| A siren singing only | G |
| On shores unsought and lonely | G |
| Where Vesper falls to some untraveled visne | F |
| - | |
| And joy had tarried still | H |
| A sleeping Venus hidden | F |
| In sunless halls forbidden | F |
| Within her undiscovered hollow hill | H |
